Hi,
I received this question from an ARM FAE:
Does the 4.5.2 version support A15 optimization? Or would you recommend using the latest 4.6 versions?
Thanks for any response I could forward back to him.
Best regards, Matt

The Linaro GCC 4.5 release series is in maintenance mode since the 11.06 release, so nothing A15 specific has gone in there or will go in there. BTW please refer to the Linaro GCC releases as date based rather than based on the full FSF number (the 11.12 4.5 release is actually based on 4.5.3+ )
The Linaro GCC 4.6 2011.12 has backports of some Cortex-A15 related optimizations from upstream trunk and they are in there for folks to try these out. Therefore I would suggest using Linaro GCC 4.6 2011.12 .
I hope that helps.
Cheers, Ramana
Thanks Ramana,
